This is what started the whole Ravel "Thing"!! I first went to Ecole Lesage in 2007 to take a 2 day intro. class. When I was in the studio I saw this piece and fell in love with it. When I went back in 2009 I tried to register for this class and was told it was level VII and I had to start at I. This is the best picture I have of the piece and I most likely will never get to take the class!!
My Ravel was of course was inspired by the piece as well as a book I found on 18th century French textile designs.

ReplyDeleteWhat is "ravel"? Is it a technique? I tried googling "ravel embroidery" but the only thing relevant that comes up is this post.
